`All consumed by mere material items
Nothing else quite holds us like this obession
Damned by our own weakness and neverending ravenous hunger for more
Super sized we make it all just to keep in step with our fellow greedy man
One by one we fall victim to the money mad beasts inside us all
Torn apart by greed
Hating each other in jealous fits for some daring to have more than others
It really is a sad commentary on the world when money becomes more valued than respect and kindness
Such a damn shame, a rotten shame and a sin to boot!
I cannot defend what I do not believe in
So if money is your god, please stay far away from me
Wicked begets wicked so be careful how you live your life and for who
Heaven can never be brought even by the richest man
All will face the same judgement at the end of time
There will be none that will be spared that eye to eye encounter with their maker
Wait and you will see
Eternity is not paved with gold coins, but rather with the pure intent of a good man's heart
How can you live in such wanton denial?
A paradise awaits you, but not if you stumble and fall victim to the ulimate devil
Victory will be granted only to those who can withstand the most sinster of temptations
Earn, do not try to buy your way
Break the mold and try something new
Empty your heart of it's material lust
Can you let go of the lie long enough to see the truth?
One minute of your precious time may be all that it takes
Make a lasting and more wholesome change for the better
Eventfully you may even come to be fulfilled by it
